    Default Linked drop down lists

    Can anyone tell me how I go about making one list in a form only show
    relevant details depending what the user chooses in the preceeding list box.
    In other words.

    Drop down list 1:

    This list has a list from the database populated with categories.

    Drop down list 2:

    This list has the relevant subject headers for the relevant category chosen
    in drop down list 1.


    I assume it isn't the SQL that's the problem as all information is held in
    one table. I just need help with the ASP for this.
    Thanks in advance.
